Willian, who spent seven seasons with Chelsea before joining Arsenal in the summer, was coached by Lampard during his final season with the Blues.
“The way they look at the game isn’t similar,” Willian compares the Arsenal and Chelsea managers
Willian joined Arsenal from Chelsea in the summer on a free transfer, signing a three-year deal. The 32-year old has endured a subdued campaign so far, as Arsenal have failed to impress this season.
In an interview with FourFourTwo, the Brazil international admitted that Chelsea’s Lampard and Arsenal’s Arteta do not see the game in a similar manner.
Willian also stated that Arteta is more focussed on tactical aspects when compared to Lampard.
The winger accepted that Lampard had been supportive of him during his final season with Chelsea.
Arsenal and Chelsea have endured contrasting fortunes so far this season. While Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have struggled in the Premier League, Lampard’s Chelsea are enjoying a rich vein of form after a slow start to their season.
Such has been Arsenal’s form that it has been suggested that Arteta’s job could be on the line.
Similar opinions have been thrown at Lampard as well, with critics questioning as to whether he is the right man to manage Chelsea given the extraordinary amount of talent in the squad.
